Join us for the third screening of the Film in South Asia series, hosted jointly by the Global South Humanities Initiative and the Department of Anthropology. Professor Veena Das will be introducing Devi (Goddess), a 1960 drama by Satyajit Ray about a zamindar who believes his daughter-in-law to be a goddess incarnate.

The Film in South Asia series is affiliated with Anthropology course AS.070.218 (01), but all members of the Hopkins community are welcome to attend screenings.
